Fusion Categories and Homotopy Theory

We apply the yoga of classical homotopy theory to classification problems of G-extensions of fusion and braided fusion categories, where G is a finite group. Namely, we reduce such problems to classification (up to homotopy) of maps from BG to classifying spaces of certain higher groupoids. In parti...
